$$rename.txt

[Mike Niccum]

I have many apps being copied to the d: drive of an XP laptop build.
Many of the apps have long file names. I have tried many different
ways of using the $$rename.txt and the files never get renamed to the
LFN. What am I doing wrong? Following is an example of one of the
apps.

$$Rename.txt:

[\]
AdobeR~1.msi = "Adobe Reader 6.0.1.msi"

Folder structure:

\$OEM$\
\$$\
\$1\
\$DOCS\
\$PROGS\
\C\
\D\
\APPS\
\ACROBAT\
\AdobeR~1.msi
\$$Rename.txt
\TEXTMODE\


Thanks,

Mike Niccum

The $$rename.txt needs to be located in $OEM$\$1

Is this the right format because it's still not working?

[D:\Apps\Adobe]
AdobeR~1.msi = "Adobe Reader 6.0.1.msi"

Didn't catch that you were renaming files on the D: drive.

Create a $$rename.txt in your $oem$\D folder and it will
then be renamed.

[\Apps\Adobe]
AdobeR~1.msi = "Adobe Reader 6.0.1.msi"

The $$rename.txt file is still not working...

I placed the $$Rename.txt file in the \I386\$OEM$\D folder and the
contents is as follows:

example: the first item is located in \I386\$OEM$\D\apps\WSHLWF_1.OCX
on the network share and on the HD it is in D:\APPS\WSHLWF_1.OCX after
being copied.

Do I need another $$Rename.txt file in the apps\ folder also? And if
so, would it only have the items for the apps folder in it?


;;;start of $$rename.txt

[D:\Apps]
WSHLWF~1.OCX = "wshLWForm.ocx"
SFIMPE~1.DLL = "SFImpersonator.dll"

[D:\Apps\Adobe]
AdobeR~1.msi = "Adobe Reader 6.0.1.msi"

[D:\Apps\Firewall]
Sygate~1.msi = "SygateSecurityAgent.msi"

[D:\Apps\Java]
Java2R~1.msi = "Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_04.msi"

[D:\Apps\Trend]
AgentS~1.exe = "A]gentSetup.exe"
Office~1.exe = "OfficeScan.exe"

Didn't catch that you were renaming files on the D: drive.

Create a $$rename.txt in your $oem$\D folder and it will
then be renamed.

Correct copy it to \I386\$OEM$\D, but you $$rename.txt
file is still laid out wrong.

This is how you have yours looking now.

[D:\Apps]
WSHLWF~1.OCX = "wshLWForm.ocx"
SFIMPE~1.DLL = "SFImpersonator.dll"


This is how it should look per my example:

[\Apps]
WSHLWF~1.OCX = "wshLWForm.ocx"
SFIMPE~1.DLL = "SFImpersonator.dll"

I just ran it using my example and it works fine.
